Several developing country governments, especially among emerging market economies, have instituted large scale RE programs Examples include: q

China targeting 10% of energy supply from RE by 2010, not counting large hydro India targeting 10% of power supply from RE by 2012 Brazil has major RE program for electricity: 3,300 MW from wind, biomass, & hydro; and leading bioenergy program Other countries such as Mexico, Thailand, Malaysia, Philippines, Morocco, Croatia, Egypt, Jordan, South Africa, Tunisia have programs underway/in planning

Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) & emerging carbon market offer potentially new revenue stream for RE In 10/05, RE accounted for 60% of projects, 20% of total carbon reductions in CDM pipeline CDM projects/credits can be organized at gov’t level; & subject to gov’t approval, at private enterprise level Large multinationals may choose to organize their own CDM projects Much of carbon investment expected to flow thru carbon funds World Bank Carbon Finance business manages the largest most carbon funds National carbon funds are emerging as are a number of 100% private funds EU Emissions Trading Scheme could be added source of carbon investment

GEF established in 1991, to help developing countries fund projects/programs that protect the global environment GEF grants support projects related to biodiversity, climate change, international waters, land degradation, the ozone layer, and persistent organic pollutants Works through implementing agencies: The World Bank, UN Development Program (UNDP), UN Environment Program (UNEP) Considers RE a “no-regrets” climate change mitigation solution To date, has invested $1billion in RE; plans are to invest at least $100 million per year on RE in future lending program

Asia/Pacific represent 25% of world’s energy supply, up from 13% 10 years ago, primarily fossil fuels (not sustainable) ADB is a major lender for infrastructure/environmental development in Asia Previously lent to Governments, but increasing focus on private sector; provides loans and TA support ADB is accelerating focus on RE/EE (or clean energy) q q

Conducts country-level activities, sector reform, regional programs In July 2005, created the Clean Energy Initiative to develop a strategy for annual investments of $1 billion/year over next 5 years Mobilized donor funds to support capacity building, institutional development, & project development to grow RE/EE investment In 2006 will review Energy Policy to make clean energy a priority Recently appointed Special Advisor to President on clean energy

International & Local Financial Institutions n

Some international and many domestic financial institutions have been supporting RE in developing countries Several existing and emerging risk-mitigation facilities/instruments aimed at increasing their participation International FIs: q

Domestic FIs: q

Fortis, Rabobank, Australia and New Zealand Banking Group, AIG offer large scale RE finance in emerging markets, primarily Asia Triodos Bank investing in RE companies in Africa/Asia More active in financing RE in developing countries, often operating multilateral or bilateral credit lines Examples include IREDA, Yes Bank, Canara, Syndicate Bank in India; China Development Bank; Development Bank of Philippines; Thai TMP Bank; CABEI in Central America

Much more work needed to engage International and Domestic FIs

Bilateral Development Agencies n n

Export Credit Agencies have not been particularly active in LDCs should change; in 4/05 agreed to extend payment terms for RE to 15 years KfW (Germany) one of the most active development banks financing RE q Committed over 470 million euros, 2000-2004 q Set up special facility for RE/EE that will make available 500 million euros in 2005-9 for up to 50 investment projects (low interest loans) q GTZ, development agency also active: providing TA, in-kind support USAID promotes clean energy access (technology neutral) but supports RE projects in a number of developing countries worldwide Other bilaterals active in RE in LDCs are: Australia, Canada, Denmark, French, Germany, UK, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden The EU is a major supporter of RE in developing countries q About $115 million annually over period 1997-2001 q In process of creating a 250 million euro facility to finance RE/EE q Setting up Global RE Fund of Funds (GREFF) to support several investor-financed funds; target capitalization of 75 million euros

Financing RE Projects-More than Investment Policy Issues

nPolicy

bias toward fossil fuels nArtificially low end-user prices by utilities nInappropriate/absent regulatory framework nDeregulation of energy sector nLack of policies for supply to rural areas

Financial Issues

nLack

Institutional Issues

nLack

of bankable projects nNeed for early-stage project preparation nLimited access to equity nHigher project preparation/transaction costs nGrant mentality of donors/countries nNeed for local banker lending for RE/risk mitigation nCredit for low-income consumers; patient capital of capacity to develop, implement, operate RE projects nEnergy links to other sectors

Conclusions n

Funding is available, but with conditions

n

Tap into local capital markets Design regulations that encourage foreign investment Strengthen legal system to permit enforcement of contracts Be patient and persistent
